Few Rome photos

We were over in Rome last weekend and were surprised to come across a red Trevi Fountain. Only looking it up now, though it was big news in Italy that night. Here’s an article in the Telegraph, apparently it was a futurist artist.

The red Trevi Fountain.

A panoramic shot, stitching together 5 shots in photoshop is no fun when you haven’t used a tripod.

Caravaggio – The Calling of Saint Matthew (Contarelli Chapel, San Luigi dei Francesi)

Great Leonardo exhibition. Wasn’t allowed to take any photos after this but it contained recreations of lots of his machines.

Obligatory, silly tourist photo. Saves money sticking your head through a hole when there are plenty of headless statues around.

This chair had very muddy legs

Look if I leave a chair in my parking space you better not move it. I’ll just put it back where it was. I don’t care what match is on.

All worked out pretty well for me. Was dissapointed to be on first, at first but because of bus times etc a good crowd arrived pretty early. I mean good in both senses; friendly, up for it lively crowd. And because I was on first I got a half hour more than any other DJ, which still went by very quickly. Location was great too, I love the woods! And they had some sound system. I’m talking about a seperate tent just for the equipment and a seperate mixing desk with sound engineer kind of sound system. Apparently it was called to a halt at about 4am but I was back in Dublin by then after a generous offer of a lift, cheers Dor! It’s a pity the bizzies came because the place would probably have been properly cleaned up, if they weren’t forced out in a hurry.

Update/Edit: If you can’t see the photo slide show above, you can look at the photos on flickr. Also, turns out the place was left spotless anway. Good stuff!

I’m sure its is all very amateurish from a photography point of view to do things like sticking a camera into a vase and pointing it at a light but I like how this turned out.

Students next door are growing some interesting plants

Fish and Flowers

Stumbled across Altamont gardens in Carlow over the weekend and took lots of pictures of flowers. But don’t worry, I got a good shot of testosterone the next day when I went fishing. Full sets above but here’s a few of each:
